A Nigerian woman has shared her heartbreaking story of how her toddler developed cerebral palsy after a pastor allegedly turned him upside down during a so-called “deliverance session.”
In a video circulating online on the TikTok handle @Ekaf TV, the distraught woman recounted that her son, then just one year and four months old, was next in line for prayers at her husband’s church.
She explained that the pastor suddenly declared the boy had a “big star” and was “chained by the enemy,” insisting that a deliverance be performed immediately.
During the process, he reportedly lifted the child and turned him upside down — and that moment changed everything. Not long after, the baby began convulsing repeatedly.
Doctors later confirmed that he had suffered a brain injury, resulting in cerebral palsy, a lifelong condition affecting movement and coordination.
The mother revealed that her husband, a member of the same church, abandoned them when their son turned two and has since remarried.
Her story has sparked strong reactions online, with many Nigerians calling for stricter oversight of dangerous “deliverance” practices that continue to put innocent lives at risk.
